Next Ten Games
Over the next ten games, the Toronto Maple Leafs will be at home for five and on the road for five. Hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning on November 20 may be their toughest test of this stretch, but don’t count out the reigning Cup champs, Colorado Avalanche.
The Leafs visit Denver on the last day of the year to finish off a three game road trip.
One game I am interested to see is against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena. The small 5,000 seat arena, located on campus at Arizona State University, should provide for an interesting venue and a different looking broadcast. I have yet to see what the arena looks like and I will be curious to see how the Maple Leafs players react to the conditions.
Toronto rings in the new year with a three game home stand that should be a good test and keep them on their toes to enter the second half of the season.
At some point you would think the Maple Leafs will slow down, and you can’t do much better than 9-0-1.
I see a couple of tough losses in this next 10 game slate, a 7-2-1 record though should keep them in contention for the top spot in the Atlantic, and the entire league.
